    Seems the person that spread that was mistaken.

    They deleted content that was in public subreddits, then when the privated subreddits started going public again, the posts he made in those became visible again, making it seem certain content he deleted was being undeleted.

    So far, there’s been no verifiable report of actual undeletion of content.

    But besides all that, with GDPR and the similar California laws, Reddit is already asking to get sued and get the EU on their ass, for not deleting peoples data on request, as compliance requires.

      “The person that spread that?” Are you being serious? That’s happened to a lot of people. It’s happened to me repeatedly. In fact I’m right now yet again deleting a bunch of posts that stayed deleted for days and are mysteriously back again.

        Yeah, that previous explanation makes no sense – the YT guy who recorded his entire session was deleting the same stuff over and over again.

          That sounds like a server error.

          Don’t get me wrong. I have no doubt that Reddit has decided to go to war with any unhappy users. I have zero respect left.

          Out of self-respect, I will still try to understand whether something is a bug or deliberate.
